ABOUT SCHOOL STATNET
School StatNet is a new initiative, funded by the State, with a mission of bringing together school districts from throughout the Commonwealth to examine data on school operations and student achievement, and to discuss operational strategies on a variety of topics. A State-level advisory board is shaping the direction of School StatNet so that it complements related initiatives at the State level, such as the release of Edwin, the State’s new teaching and learning data management system.
School StatNet is one of five education-related projects being carried out throughout the Commonwealth funded by the Patrick-Murray Administration’s Community Innovation Challenge (CIC) Grant Program. Somerville, Revere, Chicopee, and Fitchburg are taking the lead on the School StatNet program, which also involves partners from state agencies and academia. It has been modeled after the successful municipal StatNet program, which was launched five years ago, and has brought together more than 65 communities for data-informed discussions of municipal operations.
